Enhancements
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Rules Engine Update - Ability to Highlight Problematic Dose | The Immunization Rules Engine can now highlight the specific vaccination dose that marks a student as not compliant. State compliance vaccination rules must be updated to take advantage of this functionality. Updating any state compliance rules to utilize this functionality will require all districts in that state/province to be on this version of PowerSchool. |
